Enrichment

We never lose focus on academic excellence, but our pupils benefit educationally, personally and socially from a rich and rounded educational experience. Our enrichment and extra-curricular activities help all pupils develop the skills and characteristics that will provide a solid foundation for all aspects of their lives as future business, professional and community leaders.

Enrichment through the curriculum

Learning isn’t just about a study programme that leads to outstanding results. It is also about students enjoying learning and developing creativity within their subjects – and outstanding results generally follow when students are inspired by what they do. Each curriculum area develops its own programme of enrichment activity for the coming academic year.
